Two recent editorials in the Times deserve attention.

Paul Krugman argues, convincingly to me, that Hussein's stimulous package is too small.  The Talking Heads have persuaded me hat Hussein knows that it is too small, and will be back for more, later.  Let's hope that later isn't too late.

Thomas Friedman proposes that the U.S. and China are the two countries that will matter in the next decades; that both countries will spend lots and lots on economic stimulus programs; and wise choices by these two countries will make the difference between a bright or a dim future for us and our children.  Friedman wants spending focused on education, to which I say "Hooray!

I recommend them both to you.
